Bellusco to host Italian track speed skating championships in June
Bellusco will test Italy’s track hierarchy from June 25 to 28, with Allievi, junior and senior title races after Thursday practice at Lorenzo Brioni.
FISR has set Bellusco for the Italian track championships in the Allievi, Junior and Senior divisions from June 25 to 28, with Thursday afternoon course practice before racing begins Friday morning at the Pattinodromo Comunale “Lorenzo Brioni.” The federation’s June 19 program gives the meet a clear rhythm, with title races running through Sunday and the championship expected to end around late morning or early afternoon if delays do not intervene.
The Bellusco stop is more than a date on the calendar. It is where Italy’s speed-skating order gets sorted across generations, with the youngest championship-level skaters, the junior pipeline and the senior class all asking the same question on the same track: who can turn preparation into results when the pressure is highest. In a discipline built on laps, sprint efficiency, endurance and positioning, Bellusco will show which clubs have depth across age groups and which regional programs are still chasing the front of the field.
That is why the event has been positioned so early in the planning cycle. Bellusco was already named as the 2026 host when the 2025 Italian track championships closed, a sign that the federation views the town in Monza e della Brianza as a fixed championship venue rather than a late addition. The current calendar material identifies the meet as Campionato Italiano corsa su pista, cat. A/J/S, F/M, and the schedule calls for Thursday course practice, Friday morning starts and a finish by Sunday at midday or shortly after.
Bellusco’s own skating base helps explain the assignment. The municipal page says the local skating section dates to the 1980s and trains at the Lorenzo Brioni rink for 11 months of the year, while the rink itself was inaugurated in 2012. Italian Roller Games material adds that Bellusco has already hosted Italian road championships in 1992 and 2004, and the town also staged regional track championships in 2024.
The 25th Memorial Lorenzo Brioni in May was used as a preview for the national championships, and the town’s dedicated 2026 event site has been laying out the practical side of the weekend, including gazebo plots, camper spaces, catering, exhibitors, hotels and sponsors. By the time the first title races roll off in Bellusco, the course will already have told the federation which age groups, clubs and regions are ready to claim the second half of the season.
